Sunflower ‘Orange Sun’ Seeds | Double Orange Puffball Flower

Description

Orange Sun is a double sunflower that produces bright orange puffball blooms instead of the usual flat face. Fully double flowers with no visible centre, looking more like a giant marigold than a traditional sunflower. Grows to about 120cm.

Eye-catching in borders and excellent as a cut flower. The double flowers last longer in a vase than single varieties. Sow direct from April for flowers in summer and autumn.
